Another Wood Acres classmate passes on. It seems impossible that a lifetime has passed since those days of air raids & Hot Shoppes.
Leslie was a gentle, goodhearted soul, always friendly. It was nice just seeing her around. I remember her more from Wood Acres & Western, than Whitman. I'm sorry that I didn't look her up or contact her in connection W/ the reunion.
Does anyone know the cause of death?
Very sad. Gone, but fondly remembered. Jim K

As another Wood Acres classmate, I agree with everything Jim said about Leslie... She was always nice, always kind, always friendly; I was saddened to see that she had passed away, and embarrassed that it took me until now to scroll down through the classmates for updates and find the sad news. Leslie, you're part of my Wood Acres and Western memories, too.

I'm so far behind all of you in keeping up with our classmates but will try and do better. I am so sad to learn iof Leslie's passing. She was my best friend in 7th and 8th grade at Western. I spent many happy hours at her house and I still have the friendship ring that her father made for us. Even though we went in different directions in high school, I am so grateful for the good times we shared.

I am also so sorry to hear of Leslie's passing. She was such a kind and gentle soul. She lived up the street from me and we would walk together often to Western. I remember lots of laughing and kicking leaves. Her mom took good care of me too....I always had milk on my face from breakfast and she would bring me in and clean me up :). I'm so grateful that I had the chance to know you Leslie.

So sorry to hear of Leslie's death. What a dear soul. I wish I had said goodbye to someone who made me laugh so much, back in the day.

I remember seeing the notice of her death recently, but neglected to comment--I fell bad about that. Sparky and I were friends at WWHS (I went to Pyle JH). We had some good old party times and I remember the fun we had as she chaffeured me around in her dad's 1966 dark green barricula convertible with that monster 318 V-8 engine that flied like the wind. RIP, Sparky-- we miss you
